A WOMAN who suffers from dementia has been found “safe and well” after going missing a week ago.

Patecelyn Richardson, 58, of Ilford, was last seen at 12.20pm on Monday October 25 at the junction of Wakefield Street and Katherine Road, East Ham, before she went missing.

Police said they were very worried about her whereabouts as she was without her medication.

But Redbridge Police has now revealed she was found in the last few days.

A spokesman said she was spotted wandering in Whitechapel Road, London, and was taken to hospital where she was found to be in good health and released.
